V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scare. “ In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “ the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labour, land being abundant”. It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold f New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bent, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.

 A. Raise the price of	 	B. Get the best yield from. 
 C. Earn a living on 	D. Overuse the real worth of
79. What point is the author making by stating that farmers could carry nearly all their tools on their backs?

B. Americana were traditionally self- reliant.
C. Life on the farm was extremely difficult
D. New tools were designed to be portable.

V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scare. “ In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “ the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labour, land being abundant”. It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteen-century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold f New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bent, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.
76. Which of the following best expresses the main topic of the passage?
	A. The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population.
	B. The development of safer machines demanded by the labor movement.
	C. Machine
